Almost Stillborn Quail.whats wrong here?

Posted By: Quailmama | 15/02/2013 4:25:48 PM | Comments |

Hey,

just wondering what might be wrong with my Quails. iam incubating my own fertile eggs & they get to hatching stage push through with their beak and thats it, they die. Poor little things. I was wondering if it was a genetic link link? like something about breeds that will always have weak young or something????

The boy one is a kind of golden / ginger looking & the female is a very light brown one. i think wild type.

The boy is very agressive to my female white/silver quails & almost killed her & he did kill my Italian one. the female he is with was younger when i introduced them & he has never attacked her.

9 Babies died when the temp was 38deg, so i have changed it to 37 deg, but still 2 deaths,

whats wrong? any advice?

What breed are these?

Posted By: Bertii-Rosie-FishRupert | 20/01/2013 7:29:44 PM | Comments | Hello,
I am new to the quail game, they are soooo cute & I want to eat the eggs & maybe breed them in the future. I have just bought three female quail but I forgot to ask what breed they are! I think they might be Japanese quails but I'm just not sure!

Also is there any breeds that are better for egg production or eating?

My husband named the brown one Bertii...My 4yr old daughter named the pale grey one Rosie & My 3yr old daughter called the pale brown one Fish Rupert...haha!

Thanks.

I am looking at getting quails and I was wondering if any one could tell me how much time really needs to be spent on them.

Thanks

hatching under hen

Posted By: Bren | 4/11/2012 6:50:44 AM | Comments |

I had 15 out of 18 hatch under a quail in the avery and when I went out to check

the other hen was in the process of killing them all. I'm curious because you say they don't sit on their eggs, mine do all the time, the male even takes his turn on the nest, it's keeping them alive after they hatch thats the problem (murderous scoundrels).

And then the mother frets and keeps calling for her babies. If I move her and the eggs

she won't sit on them again.
